Thank you!

We did it! The voters of Kitchissippi have delivered a clear mandate for a city that is sustainable, inclusive and safe. Last night, you spoke loud and clear to send me back to City Hall to continue our work to make the city and Kitchissippi Better. Together.

We couldn’t have done this without you. Your support – whether it was a donation, a sign, your volunteer efforts or simply your vote – was critical. On behalf of my campaign team and myself, thank you.

Next week, I’ll be back at the office. I can’t wait to resume my newsletter and pop-ups. It’s going to be a busy term. We’ll refresh our Official Plan, our transportation plan, our waste strategy, our housing strategy and more. You delivered your support yesterday, but the real work begins tomorrow. I need your help more than ever, and look forward to our continued collaboration on the issues that matter.

Rogers televised debate

Recently, I had the opportunity to delve a bit further into my platform during a debate taped at Rogers TV.

We talked about LRT, development, traffic calming, safer consumption sites, policing, taxes, and more. After a term as Councillor, it was a different experience for me this time than it was four years ago. I was pleased to have the benefit of being well-prepared and able to expertly discuss the issues. I’ve had the advantage of being engaged with the community through my pop-ups, on the ground in the ward, and day-to-day through my communications with residents so that I can represent your concerns and values as you’ve told those to me. I understand the challenges we face and the pragmatic path forward to overcoming those. Most importantly, I’ve had the chance to hone a positive vision for what we should be trying to achieve together as a city.
